Since his £39 million signing from Ajax in 2020, the Dutch midfielder has made only a few appearances (Sky Sports).

Van de Beek, 26, has started just 11 Premier League games since joining the club, failing to live up to the anticipation that saw him linked with Real Madrid before joining the Red Devils.

With his career now stagnant, van de Beek intimated in a recent interview with De Telegraaf that a January exit could be on the cards.

“I need to start playing games soon, if not for Manchester United, then for another club.” “I believe this is a healthy goal,” he remarked.

In reaction to the midfielder’s comments, Ten Hag has stated that regular playing time is required for the 26-year-old to regain his form.

“I can see he has to play for his career and for everything,” United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told reporters before of this weekend’s trip to Newcastle, according to the Daily Mail.

Juventus have been linked with a January double deal for both van de Beek and Jadon Sancho (TeamTalk).
